hahaha please tell me you re going to use nicer wheels than this. I dont actually like pinarello or what they stand for, but i do respect their commitment to design and what not, and your combo here is just wrong :p

As I said,if ride good,new wheels will be installed
At least is a budget build

I should still have my 2 from my frames since both bikes are AXS. I'd be willing to ship if you are USA

Velobuild send me the hose through piece  that I already have and not the stop.. If you have the hose stop. I would like it please.

Just build mine up yesterday, the handlebar has alot of flex in the drops. Read here someone else had this to. Hoods are fine. Are they all like this?

[Sebastian]

Mine are not the stiffest bars I ever had but not the flexiest either. Sort of a healthy middle ground. If I was any good at sprinting, I’d probably prefer them to be slightly stiffer. For climbing out of the saddle they’re stiff enough, though

Hey guys!

I'm kind of on the edge and just need some convincing. So I see this frame is part of VB's closeout sale. Do you guys' recommend it enough to use as my next race season's frameset? Also any idea if I'd be able to run a separate bar and stem on this frame or any stores I could get the dimensions I need for the integrated bar.

Thanks!

Recent rides my handlebar keeps coming loose. Have to adjust play and retighten the two bolts in the back of the handlebar.
Anyone else had this with this frame?

carbon paste, torque wrench, loctite on the bolt threads? soda can shim? it's probably tolerances that are slightly out of whack?

Carbon paste Check
Torque overtightened now.
Loctite on the bolts, did that now. Let's see if this works.

Is soda can shimming safe? Or are there alternatives?

[Sebastian]

I usually use some sort of textile tape that is quite grippy instead of carbon paste. I put it on the seatpost and/or wedge. Also wrap the bars where the shifters clamp and so on. Never had to use it on a steerer though. I use one from Tesa. It always helps. Obviously you can only use very little on something like a seatpost because otherwise it simply won’t fit anymore.

[Avalius]

Thanks for the tips, i've ordered peaty's max grip carbon paste.
My old carbon paste was a bit too watery i'll first try and some new loctite on everything.
Last option will be shimming.
